So I have long hair. It's part curly, part wavy. The layers on top are curly, while the layers under are just wavy.
When I was a child my hair was straight - but then it got wavy, then curly, as it was thin before and got really thick later.
I often straightened it before I even needed to - so it's even more dry than it would be naturally. And it's kinda damaged. So could that be the reason that a part of it won't curl?
Also, now I always have to do something with it - either straighten or curl it, because I can't leave it so weird looking.

It also is very frizzy and it kinda "bloats" ? I don't know a better term.
